1. Module Overview

1.1 Purpose of the Health Screening Officer Module

The Health Screening Officer module of the Stop TB application lets a Health Screening Officer carry out clinical assessment and screening for beneficiaries who have already been registered by the field team. Working from a ready-made line listing of households and beneficiaries, the Health Screening Officer records vital signs and general findings, screens for tuberculosis (TB) symptoms, captures an outpatient (OPD) consultation, and records diagnostic test details.

1.2 Role and Responsibilities of the Health Screening Officer

In this role the Health Screening Officer does not register new households or beneficiaries. Instead, the Health Screening Officer:

• Opens the beneficiary line listing and finds the person to be assessed.
• Completes, for each beneficiary, up to five examination forms: Anthropometry Screen (To be filled by registrar, but access given to Health Screening Officer as well if the need arises), General Examination, TB Screening Form, General OPD and Diagnostics.
• Records measurements and findings exactly as taken, and submits each form.
• Tracks how many forms are complete for each beneficiary using the "Examine X / 5" indicator.

1.3 When and by Whom Each Module Is Used

The module is used by a Health Screening Officer during a screening camp after the field team has registered the households and beneficiaries. The five forms are normally completed together for a beneficiary, but each can be filled on its own and at different times — the line listing shows which are still pending.

1.4 Workflows Covered in This Guide

• Viewing the Household and Beneficiary line listing.
• Searching for and selecting a beneficiary.
• General Examination (vital signs and general clinical findings).
• TB Screening Form (verbal symptom screening).
• General OPD assessment (complaint, medication, advice).
• Diagnostics (chest X-ray, sputum collection and NAAT details).

8. Tips and Best Practices

8.1 Correct data entry

• Check the green banner (name, age, gender) before entering anything, so readings go to the right beneficiary.
• Enter blood pressure within range- Systolic (40–320) and Diastolic (10–180) or the form will not accept it.
• Record measurements exactly as taken; do not round or guess.
• Use the Notes / Remarks box in General OPD for anything the fixed fields do not capture.

8.2 Handling multiple beneficiaries

• Work from the line listing and use Search to jump straight to the person.
• Use the "Examine X / 5" number to see at a glance who still needs forms completed.
• Finish all five forms for one beneficiary before moving on, where possible, so none are missed.

8.3 Avoiding duplicates and incomplete work

• Do not register or re-enter beneficiaries — the Health Screening Officer works only from the existing line listing.
• A form already marked "View" is done; open it to review rather than creating a new entry.
• If you must leave a form for later, remember "Skip" (General OPD) leaves it pending — come back to it.

8.4 Before you submit

• Re-check vitals and Yes/No answers — once submitted, a form shows as "View".
• On General Examination, complete Key Population / Risk Factors and HIV Status (both mandatory) before Submit.
• After Diagnostics, confirm the "Diagnostics submitted" message and that "Examine X / 5" has gone up.
